Brame, Creepwave and B8 Esports performed the best and finished in the top 3, which secured their entry into the upper bracket of the playoff stage. Nemiga Gaming and qwerty, in their turn, were located in the bottom two positions of the group table, which contributed to the elimination of the participants from the championship. Galactic Aliens and Khan took 7th and 8th places, respectively, with a score of 4-5, and therefore will advance to the lower bracket. Winstrike, V-Gaming and PuckChamp finished the journey with the same stats 5-4.
